Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Bears

[DaBruinz]

Both times the defender got through so cleanly that I don't think it can be on Andrews. Usually he is pretty sound with being in the right place even if he can get beat physically.

The first one was up the middle. The second one was a late rush around Waddle by Smith. Waddle and Mason were Doubling the DE and Waddle missed picking up Smith who got the sack.

I thought I saw two PBU's.

I definitely remember the PBU on the play before he injured his groin. Because my mind immediately assumed he injured himself when he celebrated that PBU so stupidly.

I saw his man drop a ball when he was a full step behind and then him pound his chest like he did something.

That's his specialty.

The defense still has holes and flaws that I don't see fixing and this team is still characterized by uncharacteristic turnovers and self-inflicted wounds over the course of games.

AGREE..Need defensive help before the trade deadline

I didn't see him with a PBU. I saw him with at the LOS on Cohen. I saw him burned by Cohen on a crossing route. I saw his man drop a ball when he was a full step behind and then him pound his chest like he did something.

If you're talking about the seam route I think that ball hit Rowe's leg.

For anybody that wishes to take a break from ranting and raving about how horrible today's winning team was, peruse some of the Chicago Bears fan forums:

I want video of that film session.

Chris Harper's ash was brought back to remind Patterson how that fking fumble could literally change the fking trajectory of a entire season. Sony was injured the very next possession. Just like the whiffed punt by Chris Harper led to Gronk's injury and the loss of HFA.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

watching bad defenses is just not enjoyable. As a diehard fan, it pains me to say I'm quickly losing interest.

Yeah, but as long as we have brady we have a shot. 5-2, Luckily nobody else is really that great either.

I'll take 5-2 all day. Should be 6-2 after next week. Considering how sloppy and inconsistent we look

I really don't think that is the right approach in terms of connecting independent events. By that logic it is Brady's fault that Cannon is sitting out with a concussion.

**** happens sometimes and we really don't need to create one narrative thread through it based on speculation. Who knows what other horrors happened in the alternate universe where Patterson didn't fumble.

Why are opposing backs and TE’s ALWAYS OPEN 5-8 yards past line of scrimmage? Is it Zone, is it man and our cover guys are too slow? That TE today was open almost all day in that range, and picked up several first downs......the pats backs and ends always have defenders draped on them in that range....how can they fix this?

Given everything so far getting into the BYE at 8-2 -- which seems pretty doable -- would be amazing.

 

[Dingleberry]

Who cares about 5-2? There is no way we jump up in the polls with that lack of style points.

We better beat Western Buffalo A&M by 50 next week.

I think that Munson would be ideal to add in terms of some defensive help. I think he's got the speed to help covering TEs and RBs and to spy mobile QBs..

 

[long distance]

The thing is I am not even sure what to look at. We can obviously have a pitchfork session and rip apart all the individual whiffs but there really is not much to learn or understand there.

First of all thanks for your heroic efforts with re-watch threads to make some sense here during tough Sep times for this board.

The work's obviously not over . Plenty of positives despite all the blunders. Hopefully i can join this week..

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Will people stop with the “one yard” thing. Sorry Fouts is a bumbling idiot, and I have no idea how he actually played QB. The defense was designed to allow a reception anywhere on the field up until the one yard line. It was significantly more difficult to complete that pass had traveled an extra yard, since that’s where the Patriots defense was defending. It was a fairly unlikely - but not at all impossible - completion by design and a good defensive play.

 

[DaBruinz]

Hasson Reddick would be a great addition as well and could move Roberts to the bench permanently unless they include Roberts in the Trade...

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Regardless of how pathetic the defense looked and how sloppy we were, you have to give credit to the mental toughness we clearly have. We found a way to win despite all of that on the road. I think that's a good sign.

Who knows.

Sometimes the team purposefully gives he other team the underneath to discourage them from beating them with whoever they consider more dangerous deeper down the field.

Sometimes they want to make the opponent QB lose his patience after taking the small gain time & time again and bait him into bad throws.

Other times they just want to make the opponents pull off long drives in the hope that they might **** their pants at some point.

Obviously there are also times where they just get beat. But if they considered it a major issue they'd adjust and turn it off the same way Kelce was held without a catch last week.
